WP:CBALL. Too far into the future and the only referenced details are a) speculation and b) old news from previous seasons. --Falcadore (talk) 16:02, 2 January 2013 (UTC)[reply]
- Can't say I agree. We're about ten months away from the start of the 2013-14 season, which isn't that far in the scheme of things. Sure, there's some old news from previous seasons, but it's still relevant to the 2013-14 season, as they involve long term contracts. Being half way through the 2012-13 season, it shouldn't be too long until new information is available, so it makes sense to start with the page now.

- If you delete the Brisbane Bullets stuff as its WP:Speculation then the article is all but blank. That is has no other information of value beyond standardised stuff in the infobox it effectively has no content and emphasises the premature creation. --Falcadore (talk) 18:29, 2 January 2013 (UTC)[reply]
- I would question the Bullets stuff being speculation in itself. The way it's worded it is, but it can be reworded so that it's not. It's not speculation to say that a bid to bring them back in the 2013-14 season is correct. Even if the bid is not successful, that would be correct, and therefore is not speculation. 203.173.161.172 (talk) 18:44, 2 January 2013 (UTC)[reply]

- Delete Seems like a clear case of WP:CRYSTAL. When a team lineup and fixture list is published would seem a more appropriate time to create the article. DerbyCountyinNZ (Talk Contribs) 20:15, 3 January 2013 (UTC)[reply]
